WesAudio NG78 Stereo FET Compressor with Digital Recall

WesAudio NG78 Stereo FET Compressor with Digital Recall

FET compressors have long shaped the character and dynamics of recordings in professional studios. The ng78 continues this tradition with a two-channel, fully analog design featuring digital recall. Each channel offers an extended attack time of up to 20 ms, enabling precise transient control while
preserving the signature speed and punch of FET compression. The newly added 2:1 ratio delivers subtle, musical compression. Introducing the ng78 – a blend of classic FET sound and modern versatility, providing full control across two channels.

100% Analog Stereo FET Compressor

The ng78 features a fully analog signal path designed to maintain the integrity of your source material. Every nuance, from subtle low-end thump to the brightest high frequencies, is preserved, delivering the unmistakable punch, depth, and character that only true FET compression can achieve.

Extended Attack Range

With a wide attack window of up to 20 ms, the ng78 lets you shape transients with precision. Whether you want sharp, aggressive hits for drums or a smoother, more natural response for vocals and instruments, the unit adapts seamlessly to your material, giving you full expressive control.

MIX Knob for Parallel Compression

A dedicated MIX knob allows you to combine the compressed and dry signals in real time. This makes it easy to retain the natural dynamics of your performance while applying just the right amount of compression, eliminating the need for complex routing or parallel setups.

Versatile Compression Ratios

The ng78 offers five carefully calibrated compression ratios, from subtle glue at 2:1 to classic limiting at 20:1. Each ratio is optimized to respond musically to the source, allowing you to add cohesive control or intense limiting character without sacrificing tonal quality.

Saturation Mode

The ng78 features a special mode where static compression is engaged to create sonics based on the FET circuit. A single knob controls the INPUT and OUTPUT in opposite directions, allowing the unit to function as a saturation box or clipper. The harder you drive the signal into the compression and saturation circuit, the more sonic content and harmonic richness you generate.

Sidechain EQ Sections

Features a sophisticated sidechain circuit EQ with two independent sections:

  • High-pass filter (HPF) at 60Hz, 90Hz, and 150Hz to preserve low-end information during compression.
  • High shelf filter at 2kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz to tame high frequencies and emphasize high/mid-range content for more control over the top end.

Hardware A/B Button to Compare Two Independent Settings

Even when using the ng78 as a fully analog signal processor, you can effortlessly switch between two parallel settings with the push of a simple button, providing seamless control and flexibility.

USB or Ethernet Connectivity

The ng78 supports direct USB connection for easy setup, or you can manage it over your local network by simply plugging an Ethernet cable into your router, allowing for flexible control and integration.

Gain Reduction, Input and Output Metering

  • The ng78 features the classic Vintage Gain Reduction meter, instantly recognizable for its timeless design.
  • For enhanced usability, it also provides precise visualization of both input and output levels simultaneously.
